Looks quite promising! Just a tad bothered, that details look
A bit too chunky

Not perfect, but pretty close. I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing. GW going to keep me broke post-Chaos releases. Luckily I have a bunch of metals already, so I won't have to buy as much as I would otherwise, just enough to reinforce what I am low on.

I'd guess the ruined column is a base for a Seraphim? I really like that.

They're close-ups of 3d renders that have been blown up to at least 3x the size that they will be when they're printed. Once they're in plastic, they'll look impressively intricate as all of GW's latest models.

The different sizes of rosary beads is something that the past designers would have laughed at as impossible if you'd tasked them with it. Now? A couple button clicks and they can make it a reality. Truly impressive work.

Can't wait to see the full characters that all these bits get equipped to!

That floating speaker thing is pretty neat, I like what i'm seeing so far.

What is that, chest plate without certain controversial bit? Did warp freeze over?

It's just how the model assemble Irbis. The “controversial bits” will be part of another piece and will poke out of the hole on the piece displayed.

I love all of it, I love the small shields on the side of the HQ armor, I really love the flying pulpit which is 100% in the right tone, but that backpack still won't be as ostentatious as the 2nd edition canoness with HUGE brasero on top backpack ^^.
Awesome still.

Look at the pigeon’s wings and you shall not unsee! 4 feathers per wing is something that has been beaten in other GW’s minis, as far as I know (dark eldar birds, even if you say, that they are 3x the size)

As a person, who has worked with 3D printed miniature masters and their casts, Im certain, GW can go sharper yet

The Dark Eldar birds aren’t in plastic though.

Malifaux’s plastics are pretty damn sharp in terms of detail. Defiantly more so, than renders presented in the news update of SoB.
And GW has wayyy more funds, than Wyrd.

The models will look as crisp as any other GW models when they come out. And if they don’t, can we at least wait til then to complain?

I'm gonna need someone to send me this, I'm working on a diorama of a Space Marine on the John and I this is the perfect toilet paper dispenser.

Rehosting for work blocked

Love the messenger dove, but it should be a cyber creature.

The two different plug types at the ends of the cables peeking out from behind the end of the toilet paper roll hint that this backpack could be for some kind of Sororitas Tech-Priest type unit.

Not everything is a backpack...more likely than not? That is a separate piece to the character associated with it.

Probably a part of a new dialogous or priest. A floating pulpit.

That definitely looks like a separate piece. It has the flat part where you glue it to a base.

Yeah, it's like the hailer gizmo the Space Marine Master of Rites had

It travels the land, seeking out those in need of its services. Those lost and damned fools who did not check the roll before they committed to their business and find themselves trapped purgatory.

Who is complaining?

The thingy on the backpack with the chainsword? That's a graffiti template if ever I saw one. I guess now we know how you become a Repentia.

Stuff looks nice enough to me, with the exception of the floaty boombox. I know the Ecclesiarchy is rich and if anyone can afford anti-grav tech it's them, but I would have preferred if it defied gravity the old-fashioned way: by being mounted on a stick.

Rumor engine today is probably chaos related but to me it sure looks like a vehicle hatch with fleur-de-lis ornamentation.

It's not Chaos. Those pointy things are common on Tempestus Scions and the Taurox.

If anything, they're stylised double-headed axes. At least, that's what they were when they first appeared on the Reaver titan 30 years ago.

Liking all of these new images

On the AdMech stuff too (that hatch looks exactly like the Onager hatch).

Right, I remember painting some on my paint scheme test Kataphron as well.

I would be very glad if the range is full of massively stupid like this .

More chainsword backpacks please. It looks far too good to be a rare thing.

They said they are for characters, but they are perfect for Sister Superiors who currently often have Bolter, Bolt Pistol, and CC Weapon modeled on them one way or another.
